From Misinformation To Medicine: Forging Bipartisan Support to Reverse Anti-mRNA PolicyIn this article, I’ll share some of the progress AMM has made and the barriers the organization/our industry is still facing in our efforts to reverse the policy decisions that have been made against mRNA today. Throughout the panel, the speakers also shared their thoughts on the types of messaging we should be considering and/or have started to see making an impact.

Innovations In The Oligonucleotide Supply Chain: Regulatory Considerations For Materials, Manufacturing, And Lifecycle ControlOligonucleotide therapeutics have rapidly advanced into late-stage and commercial development, shifting regulatory focus toward the maturity of manufacturing and supply chain control rather than therapeutic novelty. Regulatory success now depends on how effectively sponsors translate innovative chemistries into well-characterized, scalable, and sustainable materials and processes.

Multidisciplinary mRNA: What Can We Learn From Other CGTs?Overall, there are four high-level best practices/mindsets I proposed during a recent presentation that I believe will be crucial for us to bring some talented RNA therapeutic role models to the forefront. But there is one best practice that I think is worth emphasizing more than the others.

Plasmid Production: 3 Key Takeaways For mRNA ManufacturingFollowing my latest Live panel on analytical and manufacturing technology innovations for mRNA production, I wanted to provide a few high-level takeaways I gleaned from our discussion on the overlooked darling of the mRNA space: The plasmid.
SUPPLY CHAIN VIDEOS
In this opening Advancing RNA Live clip, panelists Max De Long, April Sena, and Venkat Krishnamurthy share the biggest scientific and manufacturing breakthrough made in the world of gRNA production over the past year.
Here, Ethris’ Christan Dohmen and Tune Therapeutics’ Stu Sundseth share their take on the most meaningful strategies for reducing dsRNA production. But this discussion also probes a deeper question: Is dsRNA still the most relevant impurity the industry should be chasing, or should focus shift to other contaminants?
Together, Life Edit Therapeutics’ April Sena and Sanofi’s Troiano share their perspectives on raw material quality & IP-related considerations for managing the supply chain for next-generation RNA modalities.
In this Advancing RNA Live clip, CMC consultant Sujit Jain unpacks the levels of maturity he’s observed in process and analytical development, as well as supply chain. While vaccines and liver-targeting therapeutics boast what we can call a reproducible platform today, targeted LNP therapies introduce a handful of scale-up sensitivities and characterization hurdles.
